"We are inclined to hope, however, and indeed to believe, that the fears of the pessimists as well as the apprehensions of those who sympathise with the growing spirit of independence thus exhibited are alike groundless. Sir Robert Hart, the great I.-G., has so long been regard. ed as the absolute ruler of the Customs service that the fact that he has ever had to take his directions from the Chinese Government has been almost overlooked by the public general. ly. The foreign Inspectorate General has all along had the Taungli Yamén, and latiorly the as its head: and now a special Com- Waiwup to as mission metal
merely takes the place of that some. what cumbrous body. To the formation of the Commission
nu'one can object; both the High Commissioner Tich Liang and the Vice-Com- missioner Tang Shao-yi are men of no'e and ability, and reference to them by the foreign Inspector for the time being w11 probably be if anything, easier, and nieet with quicker re sponse than reference to the notoriously dila

The fact that no mention is made in the Edict of either the Inspector-Gen-

The veteran 1G is now in his seventy, second year and his intention to resign can Cause no surprise. It is commonly surmised that his successor will be the present Deputy. Inspector General, for an agreement exists between the British and Chinese Governments that, as long as British trade maintains its as cendency, the Inspector-General of Custom shall continue to be a British subject: nor is there any likelihood of such Inspector General Commission, being superceded by a Chinese pure and simple, as has been times hinted, as long as the Customs revenue remains for loans and pledged as it is now, as
as security indemnities due to foreign nations. Nor are the Chinese likely to hayo forgotten that the establishment of the Foreign Inspectorate by Sir Rutherford Alcock in, the year 1854 was an

A radical change,
top to bottom, will have to be made in Chine e administrative me thods before foreigners have any confidence in a service administered purely by Chinese offi. cials, and such a change can only be brought about gradually. Hence, amidst all the jealous rivalry of the Powers, we expect to see a united front shown when it coines to any attempt to interfere fundamentally with the present ad- mirablo adotinistration of the Customs and Postal services upon which foreig ers every
